Politcal Ads Aren’t Over

Imagine my surprise when I opened up Sunday’s Northwest Herald and found a political ad on page 3.

It was from the folks opposing the construction of the McHenry County SportsPlex in their neighborhood west of the southern intersection of Routes 47 and 176.

The Lakewood SportsPlex "is not a done deal!" the ad proclaims.

The ad mentions an upcoming meeting, but does not give a time or date. Perhaps it is on the web site www.stopmcsportsplex.com.

The ad points out that

  • no land has been bought,
  • the financing is not finalized and
  • “the developers are asking for more money to fund this project.”

The phone number given is 815-382-7836.
